A country lad who grew up in the far North-West of England before moving north-of-the-wall to Edinburgh, Scotland for 5 years. Tried something new and jumped across the pond to Vancouver for another 2 and now just making my way south.

Big on skiing, hammocks and anything punk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Finished a working holiday in Canada for two years with dreams of travelling down the Pan-American Highway as south as I can go, meeting a host of characters along the way that I will hopefully never forget. Couchsurfing will hopefully let me meet like-minded people that share these dreams.

Music, Movies, and Books

Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, Gil-Scott Heron, Tame Impala, PJ Harvey ...

Blasting through IMDB's Top 250. Highlights include the Departed, the Godfather Trilogy, anything Sergio Leone and Tarantino. I have a lot of time for Monty Python and low-key Jack Black/Will Ferrell films.

Jack Kerouac, the Motorcycle Diaries, Hunter. S. Thompson, Trainspotting and Keith Richard's autobiography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joining the Officer Training Corps with no military experience, just for a free curry. Two years later, I was leading 5 others in a training firefight through the pitch-black tunnels of Gibraltar.

Teach, Learn, Share

My English literate skills are excellent and I'm practiced at computer software.

Anyone who can teach me Spanish would be highly appreciated.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm told I'm a good companion to have a beer or five with.
